High-Performance Lead-Acid Batteries Enabled by Pb and PbO2 Nanostructured Electrodes: Effect of Operating Temperature

Lead-acid batteries are now widely used for energy storage, as result of an established and reliable technology. In the last decade, several studies have been carried out to improve performance this type batteries, with main objective replace conventional plates innovative electrodes improved stability, increased capacity a larger active surface. Such ultimately aim kinetics electrochemical conversion reactions at electrode-solution interface guarantee good electrical continuity during repeated charge/discharge cycles. To achieve these objectives, our contribution focuses on employment nanostructured electrodes. particular, we obtained in Pb PbO2 through electrosynthesis template consisting nanoporous polycarbonate membrane. These characterized by wider surface area, which allows better use material, consequent specific compared traditional batteries. research, lead-acid was studied 10 C temperatures 25, −20 40 °C order evaluate efficiency effect temperature electrode morphology. The were assembled using both AGM-type separator commercial
